Back in September, the Pathways Board of Trustees gave approval for a move to self-management at Haslemere and Northfields Allotments. For this to work they wanted us to set up a society with an elected chair, treasurer and secretary.

A society must have a constitution – a set of rules and regulations on how it will conduct itself and work with its members. So, we asked for volunteers and a steering group was put together of nine plot holders.

Paul McConnell (plot 218) spent a great deal of time looking at the different types of constitutions already in use by allotment and garden societies. He looked at best practice and has ensured that a future committee has a constitution acceptable to the charity commission.

As a plot holder at Northfields Allotments - we would ask you to take some time to read through this proposed constitution. These things are pretty dry and boring. But, we want to get it right and have something that is acceptable to plot holders.

Over the last two months the steering group have debated and discussed the content and we believe we have a constitution that will work. We hope you agree. You can read it here:
